Do you like passive income? And food? And free Disneyland tickets?

Today, Randa from The Bewitchin' Kitchen drop by to chat about how her food blog provides her all three of those!

Randa is a work-at-home mom who started a food blog on a whim in 2009 (to almost no audience by the way), and has since grown her blog income to between $6k and $12k a month. In addition to cash, she also lands free or discounted food, kitchen/home products, and even Disneyland tickets. Yes actually.

Also, she makes mouth-watering food photos.

We dig into...

finding the time to make blogging work

how blogs (specifically food blogs) actually make revenues

Randa's dream life with passive income and frequent travel

partnering with companies for free products (as opposed to cash sponsorships)

It's incredible how much Randa actually produces every single week given her lifestyle. Enjoy this episode!
